Myth or real - Stroke smoothness as a requisite for certain shots

Many people are really referring to acceleration when they talk about "timing"

Seems like both to me: acceleration timed to achieve the target speed at the millisecond of contact. One of the reasons I like a pendulum stroke is that it naturally "coasts" for a bit before contact, making the timing a bit easier.

tip technology - hardness at center different from hardness at edges

Hail Mary Shot

I was just thinking about this a little bit more and it is doable. I could write a program that would use a website form for a user to enter in the tip information and then the program woud create a cnc g-code to cut out each tip from a layered leather sheet. They could choose a tip radius as well and even a depth, since some people like layers cut off on install. Then using a tip centering tool, they could just glue it on and go.

However, it would have to be with the disclaimer that the user is responsible for any install related issues, since you would still need to burnish in the tip sides to properly install it.

For it to be feasible, it would probably have to be $35 for a single and $30 each for 2-3 and $27 for 4-10 etc.

With mostly everything done now with machine programming even with cue building, there is no logic why a tip couldn't have the same treatment. I can only say that they are doing that on purpose so that there is money that can be made with having your tip serviced. Installation, treatment, shaping, etc... like going for a haircut but they offer you other stuff that make you spend more.

Gold Crown 3(variant)

It's just a Gold Crown 3. Great table. As mentioned above, they had quality issues with their cushions for a few years during this era. If you can test the table in person and the cushions react well, you are good to go. If they are dead, you'll need to replace them.

The price does seem high also to me. $1500 is more like it, imo. (unless its 3k installed with new Simonis).

Safe travels to those attending the Derby City Classic this year

Lived in Montana for four years.

You have not had an exciting moment in your life until you drive onto a freeway on ramp, at 15 MPH, and hit an itty bitty bump in the snow that send you 360ing into the middle of the freeway and on-coming traffic.

Storms like this are no joke and people should take care. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron.
